My boyfriend and I are both only childs too. And we plan on having just one kid when we get around to it. I have never wanted more than 1. I used to think that I shouldn't "torture" them with the kind of childhood I had, but really, I think focusing on good parenting should be more important than whether or not they get a playmate sibling. It was my parents that really brought my childhood down, and *not* that I was an only child. I had plenty of playmates my age in the neighborhood, and I was fine. I'm not a spoiled brat. I'm actually quite level headed, self-disciplined, and independent.
